NJJN's Structure and Funding
Structure The National Juvenile Justice Network is a partner to and fiscally sponsored by the Coalition for Juvenile Justice. The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) is a national nonprofit comprising governor-appointed advisory groups on juvenile justice from the U.S. states, territories and the District of Columbia. CJJ is based in Washington, D.C., yet reaches every U.S. state and territory. Nationwide, more than 1,500 CJJ volunteers from the public and private sectors participate as members of governor-appointed state advisory groups on juvenile justice. For the past fifteen years, through the provision of technical assistance, policy research and national advocacy, CJJ has helped these state-level policy makers reform their juvenile justice systems.
Funding The National Juvenile Justice Network is funded through generous grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Public Welfare Foundation, membership dues, individual donations, and other unrestricted funds. The NJJN Web site and all related listservs are supported by NJJN membership dues.
